Cowboys' lineman faces assault charges
The Associated Press
Williams and a friend also threatened to throw the girl into the street in front of Williams' home, call police and accuse her of being a prostitute, attorney Charles Caperton told The Dallas Morning News in today's editions.
DALLAS — The attorney for the 17-year-old dancer accusing Erik Williams of sexual assault says the Dallas Cowboys' offensive lineman threatened to have her "blown away" and that "I have the money and power to do it."
Caperton said his statements were quoted from his client's police affidavit and from confidential police documents.
Williams and a former college teammate at Central State of Ohio are accused of forcing the girl to perform sex acts on them and raping her early last Thursday.
Felony sexual assault charges against Williams and Roderick Carson of Madison, Wis., were filed Monday by Dallas police in Collin County, deputy chief Pam Walt said.
Williams and Carson, both 26, were arrested Thursday, then released after posting $2,500 bonds at separate hearings.
Caperton said Williams and Carson, who each weigh more than 300 pounds, assaulted the 110-pound girl after a night of heavy drinking at the house.
Quoting from the girl's affidavit, Caperton said Carson assaulted and raped her in a downstairs billiards room. Then Williams took her to a bedroom and also assaulted and raped her.
"She did try to resist, mostly by screaming and crying," Caperton said. "This kid is barely 17. Regardless of her faults, she didn't deserve to be attacked."

Joe says it's so; Montana merchandise soars
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As a rookie running back with the Kansas City Chiefs, Greg Hill maintained a manly demeanor at practice.
"But I found myself every other day going home saying, 'Whew, I'm playing with Joe Montana,'" Hill said yesterday.
"He'd like to joke around and fool around off the field ... but I'll just remember the magic he produced on the field," Hill said.
Nevertheless, yesterday was Joe's Day in San Francisco, a time to reflect on two brief, eventful years he spent in Kansas City at the tail end of the career of possibly the greatest quarterback ever.
"it's like we knew we were just borrowing him for a couple of years at the end of his career," said Debora Howell of Independence. Mo.
However, Kansas City has had bigger stars. Joe Montana was a 13-year-old Pennsylvania school boy when Len Dawson, Willie Lanier &
Co. led the 1969 Chiefs to victory over Minnesota in Super Bowl IV.
And, there's a guy around these parts named George Brett who used to play a little baseball.
"The best thing about Joe is he's a good person," said Chiefs' tight end Derrick Walker. "I glad I had a chance to catch him."
Leading up to the lavishly produced nationally televised retirement announcement from San Francisco, Ace Sports, a memorabilia store in Overland Park, Kan., was doing a brisk business.
"For the last week, our business has been up about 800 percent," said owner Hal Wagner. "People have been rushing in and buying anything and everything of Joe Montana."
Many fans were locked in denial.
Many lattes were locked in denal. "You wouldn't believe how many hundreds of people came in and refused to believe he was leaving." Wagner said. "There have been so many retirement rumors. There were a lot of people out there who
weren't going to believe it until they heard it with their own ears from Joe's own mouth."
These doubts were not moved when Wagner announced last week he would close his doors the minute Montana actually made the retirement announcement and begin marking up all Montana items as much as 50 percent.
As promised, Wagner cleared his store of customers as soon as Montana said the magic words.
He and four employees immediately began adjusting the prices upward.
One man hung around until the store closed after the retirement announcement, then came right back 20 minutes later to buy a Montana autographed football that had been marked up $50.
"But he wanted to make sure it was official because he'd heard so many rumors." Wagner said. "He said, $50 is nothing compared to what this ball's going to be worth some day in the future."
